US National Security Adviser: US-Russian relations can only improve

The relations between the United States and Russia have reached the lowest point, so they can only improve, US National Security Adviser Herbert McMaster said.

"Well, when relations are at the lowest point, there’s nowhere to go but up," McMaster said in an interview with ABC channel.

He added that the recent Russia visit of US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was "perfectly timed" and there was a need to hold "tough discussions" with Moscow, in particular regarding its alliance with Damascus.

McMaster pointed out that it was also necessary "to find areas of cooperation."
